Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening in 

Inverness, Florida

Sometimes, a person can have beautiful, healthy teeth, but their color might leave something to be desired. In these situations, professional teeth whitening can be extremely beneficial.


Professional teeth whitening treatments attack the staining that occurs both in the interior and on the exterior surfaces of teeth. Some of the reasons for tooth discoloration include:


  • Consuming certain foods and drinks
  • Use of tobacco products
  • Poor oral hygiene practices
  • Oral injury and trauma
  • Aging and genetics

It’s important to understand that tooth discoloration is often a natural part of the aging process. A person’s tooth enamel will naturally become thinner over time. This exposes more of the yellow dentin material that lies underneath. When this happens, the outer surfaces will appear darkened and yellowed. Professional tooth whitening will not only treat any exterior staining but can treat internalized staining as well. This is not the case with over-the-counter whitening products, which typically only treat exterior staining. The results from professional teeth whitening look natural, and they can greatly improve the look of a person’s teeth.


Gulf Coast Dental Associates uses our own in-house whitening products. This substance consists of a hydrogen peroxide gel that is applied directly to a patient’s teeth. The gel will then release oxygen ions that enter the interior of the teeth to break down stains and discolorations. The secret to our whitening strategy is that the gel releases oxygen at a remarkable rate, while also allowing these oxygen ions to remain active on the teeth for a longer period of time.


The oxygen ions released from our whitening products will only attack the staining and discoloration of the teeth, and they will leave their actual structure and integrity unaffected. After one treatment, a patient’s teeth can be made up to eight shades whiter, which will provide dramatic results.

Cosmetic dentistry has helped countless patients improve their smiles. A visit to Gulf Coast Dental Associates is the first step. Please call us at (352) 344-4747 to schedule an appointment.
